Studio
An art consultancy founded by Lily Ackerman, with partnerships across London and Los Angeles. We build and advise on art collections worldwide, working with private clients, family homes, interior designers, hospitality, and public spaces on everything from a single acquisition to a fully curated programme.
Our work spans three core practices: curating and hosting exhibitions, commissioning new work directly with artists, and building private and commercial collections from the ground up. We partner with leading hospitality groups, medical institutions, private collectors, and family homes, shaping art programmes and permanent collections that feel considered and rooted in narrative.
We collaborate closely with interior designers, architects, and clients to ensure art is integral to a space from the earliest stages of a project, never an afterthought. Bridging emerging talent with established names, we draw on long-standing relationships with galleries, studios, and artists internationally.
Lily Ackerman, Founder and Director
Lily came to the art world through a non-conventional route, bringing a fresh perspective shaped by a family history in hospitality. Lily is the curator for 45 Park Lane, and for The Beverly Hills Hotel and Hotel Bel-Air in collaboration with CURA Art. Lily also works with private collectors and residential projects across the UK and internationally and believes the best collections are built on relationships, vision and values.
